COOL JEWELRY MADE FROM PRECIOUS MATERIALS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNAFRAID TO GO BEYOND
An apse is the shape of a threshold or arch. It's a sacred space in a cathedral that calls you to look upward. It's an invitation to step outside of the box.
And we believe good jewelry is proof of life lived outside the box.
Apse jewelry is cool, sustainably handcrafted precious jewelry designed for those who are unafraid to explore their inner universe, dig deeper into their outer world and discover the infinite ways we are all connected.
What you know will be challenged with every apse you venture beyond and it's in that space, on the other side of the apse, that we think you'll find a sign of life that inspires you to create something new, connect with someone meaningful and celebrate a future that is mysterious and in motion.
We hope wearing your apse jewelry becomes a daily creative way to connect you to who you've been, where you belong in the world and the mystery of who you are when you exist out of the box.

RECYCLING PROGRAM |
With backgrounds in sculpture and printmaking, our approach to jewelry is inspired by our lived experience and both our individual and shared, on-going personal transformations. We believe jewelry is tool we can all use to practice being more honest with ourselves and the people around us, and in turn, make our becoming processes more transparent.
The bigger the metamorphosis the better the jewelry. We hope you find yourself resonating with our pieces because you've passed through a threshold and found yourself on the other side. Congratulations <3
